Surprises in My Mailbox!

Today when I went to get the mail, I found not one, but two packages from sweet blogging friends!  Yippeee!
I could hardly wait to open them!  Cindy, over at Cindy Adkins' Whimsical Musings, and I Owe it all To Him, sent me this beautiful tag and pretty card!

Cindy makes the most gorgeous tags and altered works of art that she sells in her Etsy shop. I love all of the details and textures Cindy uses in her creations.  The cheesecloth here is so neat!  And I don't know if Cindy realizes it or not, but I love acorns!  So thank you Cindy!  You are so sweet!

My second package came from the wonderful Debbie at the lakehouse.   Wow, I guess today was my lucky day!  Look what Debbie so generously sent me!  A whole big stack of gorgeous vintage fabrics!

Aren't they pretty?  They are a wonderful weight and texture.  I think they would make great tote bags (Christmas gifts!) or even aprons!  I may be old fashioned, but I love wearing aprons when I cook & bake!  Do you?

Here's a close up shot of the two that I am particularly in love with!  So pretty!   Thank you so much Debbie, for thinking of me, you are so sweet!

It is so easy to become jaded after watching the evening news, or reading the headlines in the newspaper and hearing all of the crazy things that go on in the world.  But since since entering the blogging world, my faith in the goodness of others has been strengthened.  I am continually amazed at the kindness of all of you ladies here in blogland!  So many caring, thoughtful women who truly are kindred spirits!  And who would've thought we would be meeting via the internet?!  Thanks again Cindy & Debbie!!
